填空题
I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they’ d never do it again--I guess it wasn’ t quite like they thought it was going to be--not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time. Next year I’ll see if I can per haps visit fewer places and not get so worn out.
Davis:
I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again Well, I’ d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as I’ m normally a bit shy of talking to people I don’ t know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific!
Jenise:
Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on I’ll probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and *.hey were great but it didn’ t do much for my French and German.
Nigel：
I think it’s definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that’ s the only way to travel because it’ s free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as I could take the night train and save on hotel bills.
Hawk:
I’ve done it quite a few times now and I’ m used to the kind of problems that arise--like hawing to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hostel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They’ re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don’ t understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.
